Ugly Ducking Charters is located at   
Edisto Island, South Carolina.  We do nearshore and inshore fishing charters.  We fish for Red Drum, flounder, and trout inshore, and Spanish mackeral, shark, cobia, black sea bass and King Mackeral (in season) on our nearshore fishing trips.  We offer half day and full day fishing trips.                                   
 
We furnish all the bait tackle and fishing licenses.  All you need to bring is what you want to eat and drink,  and sunscreen.

"Fished the last two days so I will give all that care a fishing report and believe me it is a "fishing report." Caught nothing all day Monday in the gail force winds.
Talked to Captain Fralin out of Ugly Duckling Charters before fishing today. Man what a nice guy. He told us some spots that were protected and had fish. I know a few people have knocked him pretty bad, but I have never had a guide that didn't know me from Adam give us specific spots. Would highly reccomend Capt. Fralin We did not catch but two fish but one of those was a 19 inch flounder-caught both on arties-jerkbaits. With the wind and rain we felt fortunate to catch those two. The front has the fish in deeper water it seems-cruised several flats the last couple of days and did not spook but one or two fish and very little bait. One thing we did see was some of the biggest sharks I have ever seen inshore. They were coming out of the water in one creek chasing sting rays. Some were 6 feet long. Saw two in the Stono on a mud flat and the others in a creek behind Edisto off the North Stono."
